Friends are family too though you do not have the same bloodline. Sometimes other people consider their friends more than their own family. Of course, they have their reasons and who are we to judge anyway.
I have many friends, but I only keep those who have been with me through thick and thin. I don’t mind having a few but genuine friends.
What I cannot tolerate in a friendship is the betrayal of trust and being abusive of the favors being asked of me. I can tell whether a person is just capitalizing on the friendship for every gain in his favor.
What about you?

@cherigucchi This is something I cannot stand. Friends should be there to listen and help, not to spread your secrets and problems.

Not all feel family are friends because not all families care for their members. Friends can make better friends than family at times. You are right you do not need a lot of friends in this world. If a few are good ones then that is great. One needs to weed out the bad ones that are not there for you.

We do really give our time to friends that we do really care about.

Yes, I believe you're absolutely right! A few friends, but real ones, it's better than many who try to gain advantage of you. I've had some false friends in the past and with time I've distanced myself from them and I have no regrets

That is a good decision. It is better to stay away from them.

What I cannot tolerate in a friendship is pure gossip. You know when you have a large group of friends, and they want to gossip about the friend that is not there. I totally dislike that very much. Because if they can gossip about the friend that's not there, that, means when you are not there, they gossip about you too.

That is also another thing I hated the most especially when that friend talk about you behind your back.
